"In our day to day actions, it is often the small and simple things that will have a long-lasting impact. What we say, how we act, and how we choose to react will influence not only ourselves but also those around us. We can build up, or we can tear down." -Per G. Malm

Can it be True?



It is hard to believe that my little baby is 3 and is now a SUNBEAM!!!!! I am so glad that Jamie is her teacher. That will be a big help with the transition of leaving "Super Loop." It is crazy to me. I feel like I just gave birth to her and her she is going into Primary. I tried to document this day all cutie for the scrapbook and stuff. But she refused to take off the coat and ditch the balloon so there you go. I am excited to help her learn the theme for the year and see her in the program this fall and watch her grow and develop. Despite all the craziness and the headaches I get from her sometimes she truly is so wonderful. I love her so much and she brings me so much joy and happiness.

Grateful

So I learned a few weeks ago about something called a "Grateful Journal." The concept is that you write down 5 things every day for which you are grateful. I have tried to just incorporate it into my daily (uh....semi weekly/semi monthly) journal writing. I am not going to blog them every day but I felt like doing it today. So I am thankful for:

1. The new conference issue that has come out and the great article I read today with Brock during companion study. "Becoming Prvoident Providers Temporally and Spiritually" by Robert D. Hales.
2. The great Relief Society Lesson taught by Sister Newell today about the Roles of Fathers in the Home.
3. My husband who just rocked Meghan to sleep after a HUGH and HYSTERICAL fit so that I would not have to nurse her again. MY nipples are so thankful.
4. The fact that we have a home. Even though I get frustrated that I don't have the space I want right now. I am thankful to have a roof over my head.
5. Sister Loop or "Super Loop" as Emily calls her. Emily loves her and makes her nursery experience great.
